Modeling amp, everything is already said about the specifications.

UTILIZATION

Emulated amps are rather heterogeneous which allows for a wide range of different sounds. Easily recognized some famous amps which can easily tweak the settings. It is rather simple to understand and use.
As for cons-effects: the setting of each of the 11 effects is via a single knob and two buttons that you must play to change the settings (for example, if you set the delay effect: following the buttons held, The knob adjusts the number of repetitions, the time delay, or the mix effect). You will have to keep your manual with you if you want to know how to tune each effect if (like me) you have a memory of goldfish. If not, you should just default settings that are rather off-putting: Vox programmed default settings that make sound effects to the cartoon: personal, I was put off at first and I did not use the any effects until I take the time to refine the settings manually with the knob mysterious "Swiss knife".

For those who hesitate (as I hesitated) between the new version VoxVT30 the price of this new and this Vox AD30VT-hand, here are some guidelines:
- The new version twice as many effects and amps. For me, 11 amps is too many and I only use three of the 11 effects rested on the old version. After that, it's up to you.
- The new version has a separate reverb knob system selection effect: big advantage because it is not possible to link two effects (self-whawha with reverb for example) on the AD30VT (relativize: vox still dedicated to coupling a tremolo effects and a reverb for example). The reverb is separate I think the big advantage of the new version.
- The AD30VT has only two memories: ie you can save your settings (amp + effects and their parameters refined) to keep two of your favorite sounds. The new version has more memory slots, giving it an advantage.
- A guy told me that the sounds of the new version was more realistic ... Personally, I felt no difference ...
For my part, I found the AD30VT used 100 euros to the sell of my neighborhood and I do not regret.

SOUNDS

Here are emulated amps (according to what is said on the net and that means easy for some of them):

- Shop Clean - Dumble
- Black - Fender Twin Reverb
- Tweed - Fender Bassman
- AC15 Vox AC15
- AC30TB: Vox AC30 top boost channel wth.
- UK70's - Marshall Super Lead Plexi
- Uk80's - Marhsall JCM800
- Modern UK - Marshall JCM2000 DSL
- Nu Metal - Mesa / Boogie Dual Recto
- US High Gain - Soldano SLO100
- Boutique OD - Dumble OD Special

Personally, I like blues rock and am in love with the sound of the Bassman 57 (turn up the gain is hot) and Dumble in overdrive (for endless solos).
I have not had the pleasure of testing these amps legend true, but I think the minutes of a simulation can not yet match that of a real amp. The proof that none of the 11 sounds of the Vox I admit when I face up to my Peavey Classic30: A tube amp that has its own sound for him but I get a lot more out nuances of my next game and the momentum is incomparable.

OVERALL OPINION

I really like my Peavey Classic 30 that I use to repeat's and representations (that is a big word ;-)). But impossible to use at home to work. The Vox knob with his power reduction allows me to have a very decent sound at low volume. I greatly appreciate having many sonic possibilities because it allows me to experiment with different styles and varied.

The 30w Vox's seem a little weak for use in a group but still enough to exploit it in rehearsal at the time.

In short: great amp to work at home and experiment with styles. For group play with a bassist "talkative" and drummer "On", then you should probably another amp.
